There are, indeed, cheap flights to Hong Kong. Who doesn't want to have a
good deal, especially when it comes to traveling? I have been going
back to Hong Kong since I moved over to the States. And Perry has
traveled to Hong Kong many times before we got married. But your
schedule must be flexible.

Also, try to stay away from the travel peak seasons in Hong Kong. I bet you are going to ask when the peak seasons are....

1) Chinese New Year (between mid-January to early of March), depending on the lunar calendar.

2) Easter

3) Summer Vacation (from July - Aug)

4) October (this is the month when there are many Chinese mainlanders coming to Hong Kong for tour)

I know...it doesn't look like there are many months not falling into the peak season category. But you can sometimes get away from the peak season by margin. I personally like to go back to visit between the end of Oct to early of February.

It is mainly because the weather is not as hot and humid during after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Besides, I can go back to celebrate Chinese New Year and my mom's birthday. One stone, two birds.

Typical Way To Find Low Price Air Tickets

You will find deals for air travel to Hong Kong mostly by searching the big traveling sites, such as ExpediaTop Travel Deals at Expedia.com
You may get a last minute leftover tickets and get ready to board in
less than a week. Perry did that once. It cost him half of the normal
ticket price.

If your schedule is fixed, you will normally get a better deal directly from the airline's websites most of the time.

Beware
that there are many small traveling sites out there selling tickets,
hotels and rental cars. Many of them have hidden fees that when added
up, you will end up paying about the same price as going through the
airlines and/or a large traveling site. I almost fell into this trap a
few years ago. So, just be careful and always pay attention.

But I want to share with you my latest and awesome experience of getting the cheap flights to Hong Kong and
cheap hotels
as well.

My Awesome Experience Finding A Cheap Flight to Hong Kong

Do you always have an impression that cheap flights to
Hong Kong should be through a bargain traveling web sites or a tour
package? Yes, I had this same impression for a long, long time because
it works out for us perfectly every time except this time.

First of all, always remember to use the
Hong Kong travel agents
if you are going to have a side trip after arriving in Hong Kong. Otherwise, your ticket price would be double. One good example
is that if you plan a side trip from Hong Kong to Mainland China, like
Beijing, you will definitely get a better deal from a Hong Kong travel
agency.

If you know any local, well-known and reliable travel
agency in your area, make sure to get a quote. Sometimes, they offer
the bestest price ever you could find online.

Recently, we tried
to schedule a trip back to Hong Kong. We are planning to be in October
which was the first time for us to travel during this period of time of
the year instead of during
Christmas
or
Chinese New Year
.

We picked October this time because of traveling with a
toddler. We want to avoid any bad weather in the States which always
causes any delay or cancellation. You rarely experience the
cancellation or delay in Hong Kong due to its
weather
.

At the same time, October is the start of traveling season in
both Hong Kong and China. Price of any tour package just goes
skyrocketing. I mean for a whole trip for a family jumping USD3,000
more than usual.

Desperation and curiocity made us keep
searching. Accidentally, I clicked a check box called "My date is
flexible" on an airline site. I compared the price of taking the trip
in the middle of the week (i.e. Mon - Thu) instead of at the end of the
week (i.e. Fri - Sun). I found the itinerary which was exactly I want.

Then,
on the same site, I searched the cheap hotels in Hong Kong seperately
instead of tour package. Not only there were more than 10 times of
hotels for me to choose from, but also I could find the one I want
within my budget.

At the end, I scheduled a whole family trip for 3 people with
USD$1,000 less than my original budget and USD4,000 less than any tour
package price found online or travel agent. It was because:

1) Clicking "My dates is flexible" to find cheap flights to Hong Kong

2) Taking off one day earlier than the original plan which was a Thursday instead of a Friday.

3) Instead of sticking with the tour package, I purchased the air tickets and hotel separately.

Does
the above method work every time? I don't know at this moment. But I
know that I need to think outside the box and will try to use this same
method next time to find the best deal ever.
